* The Am7 is optional and even though Will didn't mention it being played, you can hear that in the chords
that play in the left channel during the outro it's briefly strummed once. You don't have to play it, but
it adds a nice element to the progression.
[Intro]
Em Emadd4/F# G Cmaj7 [x2]
[Verse 1]
EmI am not allowed to have Emadd4/F#feelings
GFeelings would compliCmaj7cate this
I'm a Emstupid ugly stuttering Emadd4/F#asshole
There is no Gdignity in my Cmaj7anger
Mind if I Emcough in your ear all Emadd4/F#night?
Mind if I reGsent you for a year tCmaj7onight?
EmI am not the Emadd4/F#type of man
Who can Gfall asleep in Cmaj7someone else's arms
Em Emadd4/F# G Cmaj7 [x2]
[Bridge 1]
EmDidn't mean to Emadd4/F#lie, not at Gall
I love you someCmaj7times
I love you
But it's Emhard to say
There are Emadd4/F#times when I don't Glove
I can't love Cmaj7anything in this Emworld
I Emadd4/F#want you to know
I Gwant you to know
I Cmaj7want you to know
That I'm Em[awake]
But I Emadd4/F#hope
That Gyou're
I Cmaj7hope that you're a[Gsleep]C
G C [x3]
C D6add4/F# G Am Am7* [x2]
[Verse 2]
EmIt doesn't matter Emadd4/F#what I say
GIf you don't say Cmaj7anything in reEmsponse
The final phrase of Emadd4/F#my last sentence
Hangs Gin the air, sounding Cstupider and stupider
EmWhy can't you at least Emadd4/F#laugh
I tried so Ghard to find the right Cwords
EmIt's a matter of Emadd4/F#timing, you only have so Glong
To capture the Cmaj7feeling before it's Emgone
E Emadd4/F# G Cmaj7
[Bridge 2]
Here is a Emdemo of my latest Emadd4/F#sentence
I'll Gfill in the good parts Cmaj7later
I'll make it Emfit together real Emadd4/F#nice
And Gcut out all the Cmaj7likes Em
[Verse 3]
Two days ago Emadd4/F#was really bad
GI couldn't get my Cmaj7head straight all Emday
And everything you said Emadd4/F#seemed to have an edge
You were Gdisappointed and I Cmaj7didn't know why
EmEventually it Emadd4/F#came to a head
GOver something as Cmaj7stupid as making coffee
EmYou said it was a Emadd4/F#mistake to ever try and help me
GThen you Cmaj7went in the kitchen
EmI drove off to go Emadd4/F#buy some stuff
GWhich was a miCmaj7stake because
EmI didn't want to Emadd4/F#come back
I just Gsat in the parking lot Cmaj7
And Emdabbed at my thumb, which was Emadd4/F#bleeding for some reason
Leaving a Gtrail of red blossoms on the Cmaj7napkin
I Emfelt sick and I didn't Emadd4/F#know what to do
How Glong would it be before Cmaj7I could face you?
Em Emadd4/F# G Cmaj7 [x2]
[Bridge 3]
Flash back to
The Emfirst angry song I had to Emadd4/F#hide from you
It Ggoes like this
I am Cmaj7hiding from you at the
